Member Perspectives: LEO-GLAM, “There is strength in the union”

On June 3, 2021, librarians, archivists, and curators (LACs) held their first membership meeting as “LEO-GLAM.”

GLAM stands for “galleries, libraries, archives, and museums,” and it’s a commonly used shorthand for the kinds of environments our information professional and cultural heritage colleagues work in here at the University of Michigan.

At this meeting, Colleen Marquis [they/them]—an archivist on the Flint campus—delivered powerful opening remarks summarizing how LEO-GLAM came to be. We are excited to share their words with you, and we hope you find this vision inspiring.
